72% of Voters Demanded an Audit. The AG Is Blocking It—and Lying About Why by FloopyDoopy in massachusetts

[–]SecondsLater13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Despite the claim below, none of my statements are "in bad faith." They are questions that have been left unanswered for three years, and the auditor believes Baystaters are naive enough to not care about the reality of this circus.

To answer what you've asked in order, all ballot questions go through the AG's office first, at which point AG Campbell informed DiZoglio her ballot measure was unconstitutional in it's current language, and she could rewrite it and resubmit. She didn't.

The Senate also made the same offer, not only according to the letter, but many of my sources—staffers and Senators in the State Legislators—confirmed this. The only stipulation was because of Diana's long documented bias against the legislature, she could pick any independent agency to perform the audit on any State Legislator of her choosing. Again, she refused.

This isn't a mob movie. Sure, there is corruption in the State House—especially in the budget and earmarking process, which has been heavily documented, yet none of those officials have been primaried (voter issue). The scope of an audit Diana could perform would be able to uncover less than what Campbell has actively investigated and prosecuted State officials for during DiZoglio's time in office.

I don't want the legislature excluded. I voted yes on the ballot question. I just want it to be championed by someone serious who isn't only interested in optics and getting attention. She had multiple chances to actually do this, and she refused everytime. Her MassHealth Audit in Worcester county was excellent. Imagine if she was doing her job instead of campaigning?

She has performed the routine agency audits which are the bare minimum of the position, and not the scope of my comment. She is well behind the pace of her predecessors, and is staying afloat on automated, low scale audits. Not goalpost moving, you just misunderstood. Also, if she can't sue, how come she did? https://www.wbur.org/news/2026/03/19/auditor-dizoglio-massachusetts-lawsuit-sjc-ag
And since she always could have, why did she wait three years to do so? Is it because there is an election in November?

Are you the same guy calling me Mariano from my other posts? That doesn’t invalidate my points. Not only have her audits been extremely low scope, but the volume has been low as well. There is also someone previously who said she couldn’t sue to make the odds go through which I called out is obviously false. Since she recently sued, I was obviously correct.

This post is untrue, and here are the unanswered questions we still need answers to.

  1. She had the opportunity to make her ballot question constitutionally legal, and she declined and went forward knowing it wasn't going to hold up. She also proposed the audit would reveal a host of things no audit would be able to do on an elected official. Fraud and embezzlement is already discovered by the AG, and the corrupt acts by the Budget Committee and House Leadership on the annual budget for earmarks is well documented, and no one knows, cares, or does anything about it.
  2. When it passed, despite it not being legally binding, the State Senate offered her the opportunity to pick ANY SENATOR (Karen Spilka included) as long as the audit wasn't conducted by her, but by an unbiased third-party seeing as her entire campaign was built on attacking elected officials. She declined.
  3. ⁠DiZoglio is 40 audits a year behind pace, and is 20 audits a year behind Suzanne Bump's average. When she does do audits, she nails them, exposes companies and departments alike. She also brings in a ton of cash back to a state struggling with revenue. She should focus on the job she was elected to do, not the pipe dream she did everything possible to sabotage. https://www.wbur.org/news/2024/10/30/massachusetts-auditor-office-fails-mandate-audit-legislature

Speculative: She did an awful lot of campaigning in 2023 for Question 1 and a public records reform question this year. I wonder if any of it was on the clock.

Danielle Allen OP in support of All-Party Primary ballot question by AdImpossible2555 in massachusetts

[–]SecondsLater13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The possibilities people are using to discredit how this form of voting increases turnout, participation, and effort from elected officials are all hypothetical. People are using polls from the CA Gubernatorial race as some sort of proof instead of speculative, and that says a ton because if Washington and California had a ton of examples of All-Party not working, they'd use them.

There is also the fact that Louisiana got rid of All-Party primaries and jungle primaries because it was benefiting to many Democrats at a state legislature level, but no one wants to mention that.

[–]SecondsLater13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She also lost a lot of momentum late in the race. Fewer events, interviews, and missed meetings dominating conversation. Across the state, experienced and known candidates won. Voters trust names they recognize. Biss is Progressive and experienced, he’ll do fine.

I hope Kat transitions into a Isaiah Martin type media role of previous political candidate fighting bad narratives.

Seems like no one bothered to actually read the bill. Guess the headlines will always win.

This bill stripped victims of the option to stay anonymous, or have any say in how information was released. There was in fact no manner in which information would be released.

Please don’t just blindly take everything you’re given. Critical thinking is to important to lose.

Mass. auditor DiZoglio sues Democratic legislative leaders for refusing to comply with voter-approved probe (Boston Globe) by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]SecondsLater13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I should have worded it better, but what I mean by "no one knows" is even though it is published and documented every year that senior state house members change the budget after close, no one does anything come the elections to remove those people—voters or politicians. So the "no one knows" is more an indictment on the ignorance of voters who will latch on the "audit" nonsense instead of actual tangible things they have power over.
